Who: Selena Gomez, a Grammy-nominated singer and Emmy-nominated actress aged 30, and Justin Bieber, a two-time Grammy-winning musician aged 29.
How They Met: Justin's team contacted Selena's team, and after confessing his celebrity crush on Selena during a 2009 interview with DJ Skee, Justin's manager Scooter Braun arranged for the two to meet through Selena's mother, who was her manager at the time.
For years, Selena saw Justin as more of a brother than a boyfriend, even when they were caught on a "cuddly" date at an IHOP in Philadelphia in December 2010. Selena dismissed the rumors, saying they were simply two performers enjoying pancakes together.
Three weeks later, the pair confirmed their relationship with a New Year's Eve kiss on a yacht in St. Lucia. They made their red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in February, and from then on, they were not shy about displaying their affection in public.
Why We Loved Them: Jelena's on-and-off romance, lasting eight years, captured the hearts of a generation. Fans were invested in their love story, and many could relate to the difficulty of letting go of their first love.
